Demolition work began Tuesday, Sept. 27 to tear down three old
residence halls at Austin Peay State University.

The
new Castle Heights residence hall, which opened in August, replaces Killebrew,
Rawlins and Cross halls.

Killebrew
is the first of the three to be demolished. APSU officials have indicated that
demolition and cleanup will take approximately two weeks for each building.

After the three
old residence halls are torn down, APSU will begin construction of a new
residence hall complex, one that will set the stage for a more collegiate look
on the main campus.

Phase
II housing will include three halls that would house 425 students. -- Melony Shemberger
